Performative poetry

Performative poetry is a form of poetry that emphasizes the act of delivering the poem, often incorporating movement, voice inflection, and gestures to enhance its meaning. Unlike traditional poetry, which may focus solely on the written text, performative poetry transforms the piece into a live experience for the audience. This genre often engages themes of identity, politics, and social issues, using the performance itself to convey emotion and provoke thought. Ultimately, it bridges the gap between literature and theater, creating a dynamic interaction between the poet and the audience.
